You an me both! Michael Phelps is obviously a favorite of mine but im looking forward to finding new eye candy this olympics

How sad/inspiring was it when that trailer showed the clips of Muhammed Ali? I just love him, im not sure they'll be able to top that torch lighting..

I am SO bummed about Paul Hamm. I love him. I am hoping that they let Raj replace him. We'll see, I guess.

Did anyone happen to catch the Gymnastics team on the today show this morning? They were all really cute, and is it just me or did they all seem kinda tall? and maybe not with the typical "gymnast" body? Either way, tomorrow is the big day...i cant believe its here already!

Also i found the website for the documentary, apparently its released in 7 days!

ok, now both Hamm brothers are out? That blows...

I can't wait to see Track and Field...I have a couple up and coming atheletes in the house and I cant wait to motivate and watch this with them...

I can't wait to watch swimming, diving, track & field, gymnastics, basketball, and synchronized swimming! I love all of it. I just need to print out a schedule of the times these will be on TV so I don't miss anything!

Saaame. Watching them throwing themselves around so gracefully, I regret not getting into it from a young age. I've heard it messes up your growth like CRAZY though...

I think so. Most of them are pretty short..

The opening ceremony is amazing!!

 

[fafinette21]

Yea I really love the gymnastics, always been a favourite to watch. Then it just makes me sad because I can't do the stuff they can lol.

I actually know an Olympian! So proud! (of myself, for knowing him). He is one of the Canadian archers. I used to arch (?) with him. Or....shoot with him I guess.

I agree. I knew Beijing would have something amazing up their sleeves. Don't expect too much from London in 4 years time lol

Michael Phelps needs to get excited more. Watching him jump around was getting me all worked up

His body is a work of art.
